Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Nice build, thanks for posting!
Other than the paint, anything to report on? Holes that aren't round, tolerances that are off, brake mount surfaces that aren't flat, inside of the frame that looks crap, any of that at all?
Very helpful video btw. How boxy is that downtube in real life? depending on the video, it can look like the least aero shape one could come up with, but other times, it's not even noticeable.

The front and rear caliper mounts could've been faced to help with alignment.  The rear cutout for the derailleur hanger was a bit wonky and needed a little persuading to help it align to prevent it from binding up the axle when the set screw was tightened.  I choose black to specifically camouflage the overly boxy down tube.  Other than that the bikes been a dream to ride the first 400 miles thus far.

It's great to see that support was nice at least :)

I'm about to pull the trigger on one of those too though geometry seems a tad too aggressive. Now just wondering if I should pair it with 45mm or 50mm wheels ahahah

I couldn't decide either so I got a 55 in the rear and a 45 in the front!

ahaha
I honestly think there is no difference both in weight and in aero gains (and I really don't care much about this as I don't race). Just more worried if there is actually any look diference or not :D
If I could do it again I would have gotten both 55s , front and rear

Thanks for the responses.

And do you have the same noise ?

No definitely not.   LC needs to send out a new frame asap or refund you and then explain how they could allow an obviously defective product to be shipped out.  That crack could lead to catastrophic failure injuring the rider.

From the video and pictures, it looks more like the outer black paint has come loose during packaging or shipping.
The frame will undergo multiple quality inspections before it is completed, and then it will be painted and the aluminum alloy parts with water bottle screw holes will be installed.
The quality inspection in these last two processes is only an inspection of the surface appearance.
Cracks may come from handling or rough treatment during transportation.

We will improve this based on feedback

If the aluminum inserts are installed after the frame is painted that process is most likely the culprit as that area seems to be the thinnest.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Clear coating over the color usually helps with durability which I wrongly assumed was included with the cost of painting

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) All modern paint jobs should be clear coated instead of just buffing the paint to a high gloss finish.

Wendy posted this lc17 on facebook with clear coat over just the raw carbon frame.https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1106790517314036&set=a.714845989841826

Are you sure your frame isnt clear coated? From the video and photos it looks proper glossy (like a clear coated frame). But than again, this could be due to the sunlight.

Definitely not clear coated....only buffed to the point where it's been rubbed through to the white base coat in areas .   You figure the amount of time that they could have saved buffing it out by clear coating it instead would have been more cost effective in the end

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I'm sure you can handle painting the frame with some online tutorials.   I would suggest using a two part epoxy clear coat available in a rattle can online .

I received frame yesterday, and am happy to report that some of the issues posted here the past few weeks were not a problem for me. 

Clear coat over a really great chameleon paint

Faced brake mounts

Fit of everything seems really great

I requested both round and oval seat clamps and both were provided, showing attention to detail

Will post pictures when its complete
.

Good to hear LC is learning from their customer based QC Dept.  I believe that chameleon paint is a base coat system with a clear that allows the chameleon effect to happen.
